Research

Overview

I'm broadly interested in designing future generations of embedded computing systems. These are non-traditional computing devices that we encounter often, usually without even realizing their existence. They are the brains that control our transportation (cars, planes), enable communication (wireless transceivers, network routers) and are even found on other planets (Mars Rover).

Projects

I have a wide range of research interests. For those who want the excoriating details see my publications. The less adventurous should check out the following project pages:
